EMDR therapy

Experiences of trauma, whether from a single event or long-term, repeated experiences, can leave lasting impacts on how we feel, think, relate, and navigate the world. Trauma can show up in many ways: anxiety, low self-worth, flashbacks, numbness, or simply a sense that something isn’t quite right. Whatever you’re carrying, you don’t have to face it alone.

I offer EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) as part of my trauma work. EMDR is a structured, evidence-based therapy that helps the brain process and release the emotional weight of traumatic or distressing memories. It doesn’t erase what happened, but it can reduce the intensity and emotional charge these memories hold, allowing you to feel more grounded in the present.

I integrate EMDR within a person-centred and trauma-informed framework. That means:

• You’re in control. We go at your pace. Nothing happens without your consent or readiness.

• Your experiences and identity are respected. My practice is inclusive and affirming of LGBTQIA+ identities, neurodivergence, and relationship and gender diversity.

• You are more than your trauma. While we may work with painful memories, our focus is also on your strengths, resilience, and hopes for healing.

We’ll begin by building a sense of safety and trust, exploring what you need, and whether EMDR feels right for you. For some, EMDR may be a key part of therapy; for others, it might be combined with talking therapy or other ways of working.
